Koshetz's Bust Donated To Winnipeg Center In Memory of Late UNA'er

WINNIPEG, Man. - A bust of the famous choral conductor and composer, Dr. Alexander Koshetz (1875-1944), is one of the many art and historical objects donated to the Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre in the course of 1976.

The bronze sculpture is a creation of Winnipeg's Leo Mol and was purchased for the Centre's collections by Stephania Hirniak in memory of her husband, Wolodymyr, a UNA activist and supreme officer for many years, who passed away in 1973.

A leading figure within the Ukrainian community during his lifetime, the late Mr. Hirniak was also a great admirer of Koshetz. Mrs. Hirniak's gift is a fitting tribute to the memory of two important personalities in the history of Ukrainians in Canada and an admirable example of its creator as well.
